Ivory - yes, I definitely remember. Good for your DH!! That's great that he did DR. Now it's your turn!! And you have honed in on one of the keys - stopped time. Training yourself to keep your stops short is really just as important as keeping your riding speed fast. And it's something that's easier to improve upon than riding speed.

V: Excellent. I've got my brevet training plan all mapped out for DMD. Maybe we should start another thread...

And no the schedule has not been announced, but you can figure it out fairly easily from the last year's.
